Join us for a two-part series this spring of 90-minute sessions focused on learning about living in the Religious Society of Friends, including its histories, faiths, and practices. Quakerism 101 is intended for all in our community—as instructive for our newer members and attenders as it is a useful refresher for longtime members. All are welcome!Quakerism 101 is a more in-depth immersion in the Quaker way than our usual programs. Our goal is to share the basics of the Quaker tradition in its historical arc—from its founding to how we exist as a 21st-century faith community—through readings, presentations, and discussion.
RSVP on our site if you are interested in joining so we know approximate numbers of attendees. Food will be provided.
We will provide a reading list for each of the sessions, which we invite participants to use to prepare for the sessions. But such preparation is not a requirement to join! These reading lists are opportunities for further exploration outside of our sessions together.
